THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AND RELIGION

Religion is a significant subject, studied even in prestigious universities around the world.

Most of the world’s religions fall under twelve classical categories: Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism.
Beyond these, there are countless other religions, like the Ifa religion practiced among the Yoruba people of Nigeria, that don’t make this list but are no less important to their adherents. 

Interestingly, Christianity is often classified as a religion in academic settings. By this definition, every one of us is born into one religion or another.

Consider this:
  • What are the chances a child born in India to an Indian family will grow up in Hinduism? Very high.
  • What are the chances a child born in Iran to an Iranian family will be raised in Islam? Nearly certain.
  • And what about a child born in the Vatican to a Catholic family? Again, almost a hundred percent.

These observations may not be based on strict statistics, but common sense confirms their accuracy. For most people, religion is predetermined by birth.
But here’s the critical question: How many universities around the world offer courses on Eternal Life?

The truth is that everyone needs Eternal Life—because we all face the same enemy: the devil. The devil doesn’t respect religion. In fact, he often uses religion as a weapon to divide and destroy. Jesus Christ made this clear when He said:

“The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Eternal Life isn’t something you’re born into—it’s a choice you must make when you hear about it. That choice is personal and eternal. No matter your religion, know this:

Jesus Christ came to give you life. He didn’t come to start a religion.

Christianity, as portrayed in the Bible, isn’t a religion; it’s a life—a transformative, overflowing life of joy, peace, and righteousness.
Sadly, many Christians don’t understand the life they carry. Instead, they settle for what could be called Religious Christianity—a superficial form of godliness that denies the power of Christ (2 Timothy 3:5). This type of faith is relevant only on paper, not in real life.

The reality is that both the "Religious Christian" and the devout followers of other faiths—Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, and others—need the life Jesus offers.

Jesus isn’t bound to any religion. He isn’t a Christian or a Muslim. He is the Savior who gives Eternal Life, and no religion can replace that gift.

Don’t let the fear of leaving religion cost you the opportunity for Eternal Life. Don’t allow the spirit of religion to lock you out of the abundant life Jesus offers.
Religion is temporary, but its grip can have eternal consequences if it blinds you from choosing life.

Here’s the truth:
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died and shed His blood to wash away your sins and give you Eternal Life.

So ask yourself: Do I have Eternal Life?

No matter where you were born or what religion you were born into, you can make the choice today.

Choose Eternal Life—because that’s why you are here.

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions .

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
